ANTI-WRINKLE
Please note that a face-to-face medical consultation is required with Louise prior to any anti wrinkle treatment where your suitability for this treatment will be assessed. You will have a cooling off period before an appointment for the treatment.
Why do I need a face-to-face consultation?
A face-to-face consultation is essential for safe prescribing and treatment. During the consultation Louise will:
- Take a medical history (including pregnancy/breastfeeding, medication, allergies and neurological conditions)
- Examine the treatment area and discuss realistic outcomes and alternatives
- Explain the risks, side effects and pre-treatment advice and expected aftercare
- Check you are over the legal minimum age and that the treatment is suitable for you
Botulinum Toxin (often called Botox) is a non-surgical treatment of fine lines and wrinkles created by movement. Predominantly used to for the softening and smoothing of expression lines, such as the forehead, crow’s feet and the frown lines that often occur between the eyebrows as we get older, but can be used to treat other areas such as smokers lines, bunny lines, teeth grinding, dimpled chin, jawline slimming and to raise the eyebrows.
The injections work by relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles and fine lines, a natural fresher look is the optimum outcome.
What happens at the appointment?
The appointment will last approximately 30-40 minutes. The treatment itself typically takes around 15 minutes and beforehand Louise will examine your facial muscles to see how they work and where to place the toxin. It is a relatively painless procedure as a very tiny needle is used. Local anaesthetic cream can be used if you are particularly anxious but is not usually required.
Effects of Botox can start to be felt at 48 and 72 hours post treatment with maximum effect at 10-14 days. The effects of Botox usually last between 3 and 5 months but can vary from person to person.
After care advice:
Do not rub or massage the treated areas for at least 24 hours after treatment.
If you need to cleanse your face the same day, do so carefully without rubbing.
Do not apply makeup for at least 4 hours after treatment.
No physical exercise for 24 hours.
No excessive heat such as sauna/steam for 24 hours.
No facial treatments for 2 weeks.
